Twelve girls in Years 5 and 6 travelled from across Western Australia to spend the Australia Day long weekend at Perth College.
Staying in the Perth College Boarding House, they got a taste of life as a boarder in preparation for their secondary education. Activities across the School grounds included an Art lesson with Si Hummerston, Music with SofieCumming, and sport in the gym. The girls loved learning the maze-like layout of the Boarding House and quickly made friends, gaining confidence to stay away from home and undertake new challenges.
Head of Boarding, Judy Parker, organised the inaugural PC Challenge to reassure girls and their parents about boarding school and provide a sneak peek into the opportunities available at Perth College.

The boundaries of the constituency, as set out in the Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1832, were-

Prior to the 1832 general election, the county (including the detached parishes) had been covered by the Perthshire constituency and Perth Burghs. Perth Burghs consisted of the burgh of Perth and burghs in the county of Fife and the county of Forfar.

Significant buildings

The Perth Town Hall, built between 1868 and 1870, was designed as an administrative centre for the newly formed City of Perth. By the late 1950s the Town Hall was considered too small for the council's requirements so Council House, a modernist steel and glass building, was commissioned. Completed in 1960, Council House has divided opinions over its architectural merit. Both the Town Hall and Council House are on the Register of the National Estate.

History

Founded in 1902 by the Community of the Sisters of the Church, an Anglican religious order, Perth College is the oldest Anglican girls' school in Western Australia. The school first commenced in St Mary’s Hall in Colin Street, West Perth with 32 girls. The demand for the introduction of boarding students increased and, as a result, Hawkesbury, situated near Kings Park was opened in 1903.

Mercedes College, Perth

The school was founded in 1846 by the Sisters of Mercy, thus making it the oldest independent Catholic girls' school in Australia, and the oldest existing secondary school in Perth.
There are currently 800 students attending the college and the current principal is Sheena Barber.

History

The school has its beginnings in the landing at the Swan River Colony of Irish Sisters of Mercy. Led by Sister Ursula Frayne, they founded the first Catholic school in the colony on 2 February 1846
beginning their teaching with just one pupil. Classes were conducted in a rented St Georges Terrace cottage, near Victoria Avenue. By the end of the first day's teaching, the numbers had swelled to six students. Enrolment grew to 100 by the end of 1846, by which time the school had moved to permanent accommodation at Victoria Square.

Top Girls Schools in Perth: A Four Generation Story

Top Girls Schools in Perth: A Four Generation Story

Mercedes College is one of Perth's top schools for young women Year 7 to 12. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1846, the College offers an outstanding Catholic education based on the Mercy values of compassion, justice, excellence, integrity and service. Situated in the heart of the Perth's CBD and located in the beautiful heritage precinct, the College is the oldest girls' school in Australia on the original site of foundation.
In this video you will meet four generations of Mercedes College; we have called them our Mercy family.
GreatGrandmotherMary is 98 years old when we captured this video. She vividly recalls her time at St Joseph's, one of four schools on the site at the time. Although times were very different back then - she was the eldest girl of 11 - she still has fond memories of the Sisters of Mercy. Mary attended St Joseph's in 1924 but missed a lot of school. "Being the eldest daughter I had to help a lot in the house. That was normal then."
Mary's daughter Moya started school in 1949 when she was 6 years old. Now, in her seventies, Moya has fond memories of choral performances and drama productions.
Sonya, Moya's daughter, was also a Mercedes College student and now teaches at the College. "My whole life has been at Mercedes," she says. She has also seen a lot of changes. "But the values are still the same," she says. And Sonya's 2 daughters Madeline and Emily are current students. "It never even occurred to me to send them anywhere else. There are so many opportunities at Mercedes College: academically, and then there is music and drama, or sports. I'm so grateful that they really enjoy going to school. Just like I did."
